Ukrainian farmers are preparing for the sowing season, but it won’t be easy.

As a rule, farmers begin preparations for the sowing season the previous autumn. That is why most agricultural producers have more or less already acquired fertilizers and seeds. “The total need for fertilizers for sowing is 84% covered, and 55% of the necessary plant protection products are in hand. This figure is not satisfactory, but not critical, because the shortfall can be compensated by imports from the EU countries, who are ready to provide us with the necessary support. The most critical problem is with fuel, it is being resolved at the level of top officials of the state. The need for seed material in Ukraine is 78%provided for,” said Minister of Agrarian Policy Roman Leshchenko.
